Description: This species has a unique bark trait
called "minni-ritchie" which is a rich, coppery red bark on the lower trunk.
Smaller branches, buds and stems offer a powdery white bark. It is a small
tree to about 21' (7 m) with rounded leaves of silvery-blue foliage shaped
somewhat like a heart. Creamy yellow flowers appear in groups of 7 and the
species has attractive gum-nuts. It prefers well-drained soils in a dry to
moderate, temperate climate.
